I miss Target Canada. That's where I get all the cool Exclusives from Transformers to DVDs to Blu Rays

Yeah, that's quite the scam they've got going. Not only is it a Target exclusive, it even further exclusive because you can't buy it if you don't have their credit card!

I don't, they were mostly worthless. Sure it was great at the beginning, but as time went on they really went down hill.

So he's not coming? Glad I got him from ebay China! Why wouldn't he be here though???

Really? Not here, Target obliterated all 5 of our worthless Walmarts. It was a better shopping experience in every way imaginable. BUT, I have heard many stories like yours. Seems their quality was not uniform across the country. Sad really,I would trade all 5 walmarts for 1 Target lol.

As for no Red Wing here, it was simply a greedy cash grab in conjunction with Target. No reason to bring it here.

If you saw the thread I did, I simply gave up and did my own by painting a StarScream.


I'm actually playing with it right now. The paint is holding great and he's definitely one of my favorites figures ever.

I picked him up early on from ebay for $50, had a gut feeling he wasn't coming. I did have an extra starscream and was going to paint him a dark metallic green but I swapped him for Thundercracker... Maybe if I can get my hands on him very cheap I might try to paint a custom...

Well, he's selling at around 60$ now... for a 40$ seeker mold recolor, I just don't believe justifying the high cost, at least beyond 5$ difference.

With the TrU sale and getting StarScream for 32$, a few pennies' worth of paint, a bit of time and patience that was actually kinda fun to do, I have one that's actually a better shade of red, proper silver highlights, AND on top, he doesn't have the seizure twitch face, so for me it's a win-win....

I picked up another Starscream and have another idea for a very different project... so I'll be posting that one when done.

I've seen Red Wing for pretty reasonable prices on eBay, but as I look at my display of the 3 standard Seekers and the 3 Rainmakers, I go back and forth on wanting him. My mild OCD wants him to complete the set, but the part of me who only collects "show characters" says, "But he's not from the show, hes just based on a club character."

Didnt Gotbot say this would come to TRU Canada? Did he ever see an actual listing?
